The Disability Discrimination Act and its implications for
employers and suppliers of products and services is the topic for
the latest in the successful BCS series of practical guides for
professionals and business managers.
Geoff Busby, chairman of the BCS Disability specialist group,
says disabled people can help to fill the IT skills gap - but only
if employers can make them feel valued and secure. Understanding
the legislation can bring this about.
The 60-page A4 guide follows the question-and-answer format of
the other guides in the series on e-commerce, data protection, the
euro and the year 2000.
It includes definitions of disability and has sections for
employers, suppliers and on IT - in terms of both the potential and
the demands of the legislation.
Disability Discrimination Act: Access for All is
available at £15 to BCS members and £20 to non-members, including
postage. It can be ordered on 01793-417424.
